Raspberry-buttermilk pops – a less healthy but delicious variation. The buttermilk gives this ice pop more of an ice cream taste and texture, where refreshment is replaced with the creamy goodness of buttermilk.

Cheat’s pineapple, Thai basil, and ginger sorbet – one for the more adventurous cooks out there. The combination of the sweet pineapple, fragrant Thai basil, and spicy ginger really make this sorbet stand out.

Working as both a pudding and a breakfast for the more diet-liberal of us, mango lassies combine the sweet tropical flavour of mango with the creamy goodness a thick milkshake. Use any kind of milk, and you can even add ice cream!

This can be done with any fruit, try blueberries or strawberries for a mix up.

Fruit Granita

Fruit granita is delicious and flexible ice treat that is really simple to make. You can use any fruit to make granita – use your favourite fruit or experiment with different combinations.

Granita gets its unique texture by using a fork to flake the mixture a few times when it is partially frozen. The result; delicious and flaky frozen fruit that melts in your mouth releasing a wave of flavour with each bite.

Granita can be eaten on its own or served on top of other deserts or even cocktails!

Frozen Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate is a cold winter drink, but when you freeze it, it becomes a whole other story. Essentially a frozen chocolate milkshake with a twist, you can make it with either milk or white chocolate.

Ice Cream Fudge

Like a cold chocolate brownie, but better! This is a bit more time-consuming to make than our other entries here, but what you are left with is a chocolate fudge sensation, ready to snack on or just full-on pig-out on during a movie.

Use different kinds of ice cream to add some extra flavour, such as cookie dough or almond ice cream.
